A report by the Commission on Administration of Justice released on Tuesday in Nairobi has ranked the police force with the least public confidence.
The report showed that Kenyans made more complaints against the National Police Service Commission than any other agency, The Nation reports.
According to The Star, the report puts the percentage of complaints related to police maladministration received by the ombudsman at 12 per cent.
The Commission's chair, Otiende Amollo said complaints against the police range from corruption, human right abuses and failure to take action on reported cases.
The Interior ministry and the judiciary come second and third with 9.28 per cent and 8.04 per cent respectively.
Coming in fourth is the Lands ministry with most of the complaints reported being about the misconduct of land officials and corruption.
Amollo is calling on the institutions to deal with the underlying issues in order to change the public’s' perception towards them.
Elsewhere a report released by Ipsos shows that the trust by Kenyans in both President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto has declined.
On current and former public officers, First Lady Margaret Kenyatta is the most trusted by more than half of Kenyans at 55 percent and has been on an upward trend compared to the last rating at 50 percent, Capital Fm reports.
CORD leader Raila Odinga, though rating low at 29 percent has improved from 24 percent.
Least trusted are the Speaker of the National Assembly Justin Muturi and Jubilee Majority Leader Aden Duale.
On independent institutions, media tops the list of trust at 46 percent, religious leaders, 43 percent flowed by IPSOS itself at 33 percent.
